| schestowitz | It seems like it's far too easy to rebrand and reship Ubuntu, calling it a 'Linux Distro'. | Aug 26 18:01 |
| schestowitz | Personally, I sort Linux distros per generations from the core. (like they judge you by your 'generation' in the World of Darkness rpgs) | Aug 26 18:01 |
| schestowitz | Meaning - A Linux-Distro has to be done 'from scratch', provide it's own repositories, and maintaining it's core itself, to be counted as 'original' (or gen0). | Aug 26 18:01 |
| schestowitz | Then there are Distros that take said Distros, adding preinstalled software, bloat and guis, calling it an "original" Distro (like Ubuntu), but are really rebranding and reshipping their base system. (gen1) | Aug 26 18:01 |
| schestowitz | And then there are those, that are based around systems, that where already rebranded and reshipped. (gen2) They are some kind of evolutionary dead-end to me, since their maintainers do not really create or even add something to the whole. These are bored people that want to play Jobs for a day. | Aug 26 18:01 |
| schestowitz | I tend to ignore gen2+ 'Distros'. Usually their feature-lists begin with their desktop-environment (theme and iconset), and end with having steam and dropbox preinstalled, sporting a 2GB+ install image, and almost everytime feel pretty redundand. | Aug 26 18:01 |
| schestowitz | But my opinion might not be relevant here, since I'm currently preparing to switch from Archlinux (which IMO is the best Linux-distro out there) to one of the BSDs. | Aug 26 18:01 |

| schestowitz | Hi! Nice to hear from you. | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | Aug 28 11:23 | |
| schestowitz | > I want to do an article on Tux Machines, now that we're approaching nine | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | > months since the ownership change. Although the focus will be on Tux | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | > Machines, I'll look at Techrights too. The article will be fair and | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | > positive. From what I see, you're doing a great job. If I understand, | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | > Tux Machines is basically operated by you and your wife Rianne? How | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | > about Techrights? | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | Techrights involves 4 IRC channels, sources (usually E-mail and/or IRC), some online communities, and occasional guest posts (not much as of late due to lack of time and acapacity). | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | Aug 28 11:23 | |
| schestowitz | > From what I gather, you live in London and design web sites or offer web | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | > solutions of some sort? | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | Rianne and I live in Manchester, but the company we work for is based around London (we work from home) and offers FOSS integration solution; that includes sites, but most of it is not site-related. We have some big government clients, so I happen to technically manage some bits of important public sites. | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | > You don't run ads on either site. Are they meant | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | > to be a showcase for your web business, are they mainly motivated from | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | > within you, following your bliss so to speak, or a combination of the two? | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | I've been advocating GNU/Linux for over a decade and these sites are mostly an extension of that. | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | > One of the first things you did after taking responsibility for Tux | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | > Machines was to migrate to a new server. What necessitated that? | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | Personal reasons of Susan. She was getting married, her son said he would take over the house, and she was hosting the site from her house with No-IP. None of that needs to be public knowledge (she wants privacy), but we needed to get the hosting out of her house. :-) | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | > Early on, you also found it necessary to promise to the community | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | > supporting or following Tux Machines, to not turn the site political, or | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | > too much so. There was some push back in some of the comments posted on | Aug 28 11:23 |
| schestowitz | > the site -- which seems to have gone away of late. Were people afraid of | Aug 28 11:24 |
| schestowitz | > you because of Techrights, where you're very political and somewhat | Aug 28 11:24 |
| schestowitz | > controversial? And if so, how has that worked out for you? | Aug 28 11:24 |
| schestowitz | For a day or two I tried putting articles from Techrights at the front page of Tux Machines. Right now there's little more than just an occasional "Today in Techrights" with some links, so those who don't like Techrights for its views can easily skip. | Aug 28 11:24 |
| schestowitz | > BTW, I assume that traffic is up on Tux Machines. The traffic we get at | Aug 28 11:24 |
| schestowitz | > FOSS Force whenever you link to us is way up from what it was a year or | Aug 28 11:24 |
| schestowitz | > so ago. | Aug 28 11:24 |
| schestowitz | Yes, it's hard for us to know how much traffic we get because we use Varnish for caching; however, looking at the back end (Drupal/Apache), we saw traffic rising from 70+ MB/week (log file, not bandwidth) in February when we migrated the site to 200-220MB in the past 4 weeks. Almost all the images are sent via Varnish, CSS gets aggregated (same for JavaScript), so these numbers are not comparable (cross-site), except on a week-to- | Aug 28 11:24 |
| schestowitz | week basis for the site itself (Drupal has its own internal caching too). If we don't use cache, the server cannot cope, so that's a good sign (it has lots of RAM and two CPU cores). | Aug 28 11:24 |
| schestowitz | Aug 28 11:24 | |
| schestowitz | > If you have time to answer these questions, that would be great. | Aug 28 11:24 |
| schestowitz | > | Aug 28 11:24 |
| schestowitz | > I think I owe you one. | Aug 28 11:24 |
| schestowitz | Rianne likes your writings, so I think you don't owe us anything :-) we're merely pursuing good articles. | Aug 28 11:24 |

| schestowitz | It seems like it's far too easy to rebrand and reship Ubuntu, calling it a 'Linux Distro'. | Aug 26 17:02 |
| schestowitz | Personally, I sort Linux distros per generations from the core. (like they judge you by your 'generation' in the World of Darkness rpgs) | Aug 26 17:02 |
| schestowitz | Meaning - A Linux-Distro has to be done 'from scratch', provide it's own repositories, and maintaining it's core itself, to be counted as 'original' (or gen0). | Aug 26 17:02 |
| schestowitz | Then there are Distros that take said Distros, adding preinstalled software, bloat and guis, calling it an "original" Distro (like Ubuntu), but are really rebranding and reshipping their base system. (gen1) | Aug 26 17:02 |
| schestowitz | And then there are those, that are based around systems, that where already rebranded and reshipped. (gen2) They are some kind of evolutionary dead-end to me, since their maintainers do not really create or even add something to the whole. These are bored people that want to play Jobs for a day. | Aug 26 17:02 |
| schestowitz | I tend to ignore gen2+ 'Distros'. Usually their feature-lists begin with their desktop-environment (theme and iconset), and end with having steam and dropbox preinstalled, sporting a 2GB+ install image, and almost everytime feel pretty redundand. | Aug 26 17:02 |
| schestowitz | But my opinion might not be relevant here, since I'm currently preparing to switch from Archlinux (which IMO is the best Linux-distro out there) to one of the BSDs. | Aug 26 17:02 |

| schestowitz | Hi! Nice to hear from you. | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | Aug 28 10:23 | |
| schestowitz | > I want to do an article on Tux Machines, now that we're approaching nine | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | > months since the ownership change. Although the focus will be on Tux | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | > Machines, I'll look at Techrights too. The article will be fair and | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | > positive. From what I see, you're doing a great job. If I understand, | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | > Tux Machines is basically operated by you and your wife Rianne? How | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | > about Techrights? | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | Techrights involves 4 IRC channels, sources (usually E-mail and/or IRC), some online communities, and occasional guest posts (not much as of late due to lack of time and acapacity). | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | Aug 28 10:23 | |
| schestowitz | > From what I gather, you live in London and design web sites or offer web | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | > solutions of some sort? | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | Rianne and I live in Manchester, but the company we work for is based around London (we work from home) and offers FOSS integration solution; that includes sites, but most of it is not site-related. We have some big government clients, so I happen to technically manage some bits of important public sites. | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | > You don't run ads on either site. Are they meant | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | > to be a showcase for your web business, are they mainly motivated from | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | > within you, following your bliss so to speak, or a combination of the two? | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | I've been advocating GNU/Linux for over a decade and these sites are mostly an extension of that. | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | > One of the first things you did after taking responsibility for Tux | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | > Machines was to migrate to a new server. What necessitated that? | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | Personal reasons of Susan. She was getting married, her son said he would take over the house, and she was hosting the site from her house with No-IP. None of that needs to be public knowledge (she wants privacy), but we needed to get the hosting out of her house. :-) | Aug 28 10:23 |
| schestowitz | > Early on, you also found it necessary to promise to the community | Aug 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz | > supporting or following Tux Machines, to not turn the site political, or | Aug 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz | > too much so. There was some push back in some of the comments posted on | Aug 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz | > the site -- which seems to have gone away of late. Were people afraid of | Aug 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz | > you because of Techrights, where you're very political and somewhat | Aug 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz | > controversial? And if so, how has that worked out for you? | Aug 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz | For a day or two I tried putting articles from Techrights at the front page of Tux Machines. Right now there's little more than just an occasional "Today in Techrights" with some links, so those who don't like Techrights for its views can easily skip. | Aug 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz | > BTW, I assume that traffic is up on Tux Machines. The traffic we get at | Aug 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz | > FOSS Force whenever you link to us is way up from what it was a year or | Aug 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz | > so ago. | Aug 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz | Yes, it's hard for us to know how much traffic we get because we use Varnish for caching; however, looking at the back end (Drupal/Apache), we saw traffic rising from 70+ MB/week (log file, not bandwidth) in February when we migrated the site to 200-220MB in the past 4 weeks. Almost all the images are sent via Varnish, CSS gets aggregated (same for JavaScript), so these numbers are not comparable (cross-site), except on a week-to- | Aug 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz | week basis for the site itself (Drupal has its own internal caching too). If we don't use cache, the server cannot cope, so that's a good sign (it has lots of RAM and two CPU cores). | Aug 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz | Aug 28 10:24 | |
| schestowitz | > If you have time to answer these questions, that would be great. | Aug 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz | > | Aug 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz | > I think I owe you one. | Aug 28 10:24 |
| schestowitz | Rianne likes your writings, so I think you don't owe us anything :-) we're merely pursuing good articles. | Aug 28 10:24 |
